Seated Straddle

Toomey said this stretch really hits her abductors and helps relieve lower-back pain or pressure. Hold for three to four minutes, taking your legs a little wider to go deeper as the minutes go on.

  • Sit in a wide straddle.
  • With straight legs and a straight back, slowly hinge at the hips, reaching out with the chest to prevent the spine from rounding.
  • Rest your hands on your thighs or on the floor.
  • Only fold as far as you can with straight legs. Hold here three to four minutes.
